It's a good theory but I don't think it's correct, here's why. Generally when something like this happens, the afflicted person grows weaker over time. Mab hasn't. She was very weak, and frail after the blast from the Eye. Later on she had returned to normal. If she had been mortally wounded, I don't think she'd have gotten stronger, and healthier afterwards.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab wasn’t sure of the outcome in BG, if an immortal is not killed then they are dissipated until they re-coalesce. This is what happened with Erl and Odin, but they pulled themselves together quickly, another blast? Perhaps not so quickly, but the Eye had to cycle and there were multiple threats to Ethnui, which was the strategy. We have only been told of two ways of killing Mab, there isn’t a third.
A Mab dissipated for several decades is a bad as a Mab dead, worse it is not sure if the Mantle would transfer to Molly or not during that period. Nor is it clear that the being Mab would survive this, whilst the Mantle would, Mab wasn’t an immortal before assuming a Mantle

However you are talking gods, Mab isn't exactly a god.. True for the mantle, but put Mab in a blender and pour her out, the only chewable bit left is the mantle, the rest ain't coming back together in my opinion.

the way I interpreted it, is a conjunction uncaps the immutability of immortals (even and perhaps especially those who wear mantles). Which is why they could kill the ladies off during CD. Without an conjunction or otherwise lethal tool, they are in fact immortal when inside the mantle.

According to Jim, the Eye is a god killing weapon. He said even Uriel could be killed by it eventually (if he just sat there and did nothing). It would have killed Mab if she took one or maybe two more blasts with it. She barely survived the first one. The Mantle would have went to Molly right away I'd think.
